Thirteen Reasons Why by Jay Asher

Thirteen Reasons Why by Jay Asher
You can’t stop the future. You can’t rewind the past. The only way to learn the secret . . . is to press play. Clay Jensen returns home from school to find a strange package with his name on it lying on his porch. Inside he discovers several cassette tapes recorded by Hannah Baker–his classmate and crush–who committed suicide two weeks earlier. Hannah’s voice tells him that there are thirteen reasons why she decided to end her life. Clay is one of them. If he listens, he’ll find out why. Clay spends the night crisscrossing his town with Hannah as his guide. He becomes a firsthand witness to Hannah’s pain, and as he follows Hannah’s recorded words throughout his town, what he discovers changes his life forever.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

What a great book. I loved how Clay follows the map around town listening to Hannah's cassette tapes. It made the whole thing surreal. And bottom line, never judge someone based on apparences or rumors and gossip, you NEVER know what they are going thru or why. One day it may be you that needs just that one person to reach out. Dont bottle it all up. If you feel like you're spiraling out of control reach out to even one peson even if you feel stupid. It may just change your life.
